Abstract: [Problem] It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for collecting seawater that contains plankton and producing DHMBA, which is an antioxidant, from the plankton contained in the seawater. [Solution] The method of the present invention includes: filtering collected seawater containing the plankton using a filter; taking out a cell content from the plankton remaining on the filter; subsequently heating/pressurizing the cell content taken out; and producing 3,5-dihydroxy-4-miethoxybenzyl alcohol from the heated/pressurized product. The plankton is a diatom. [Selected Drawing] FIG.

Abstract: [Problem] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for collecting seawater that contains plankton and generating DHMBA (dba), which is an antioxidant, from the plankton contained in the seawater. [Solution] The present invention is characterized in that: collected seawater containing plankton is filtered using a filter, the cell contents are removed from the plankton remaining on the filter, the removed cell contents are subsequently heated, and 3,5-dihydroxy-4-methoxybenzyl alcohol is produced from the heated product; and the plankton are assumed to be diatoms.

Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to enable the production of 3,5-dihydroxy-4-methoxybenzyl alcohol (DHMBA), which is a novel antioxidant, from the shellfish meat of a filter-feeding bivalve other than oyster by extracting the shellfish meat of the filter-feeding bivalve under heating or pressurizing. The method according to the present invention is characterized by comprising adding the shellfish meat of a filter-feeding bivalve other than oyster to an extraction liquid and heating the extraction liquid to thereby produce 3,5-dihydroxy-4-methoxybenzyl alcohol from the thus heated shellfish meat liquid of the bivalve.

A portion of an oyster meat extract more amply incorporating an antioxidant substance with high ORAC value is selected. An extraction method that allows incorporating further large amount of antioxidant substance with high ORAC value is employed. The beneficial oyster meat extract can be efficiently extracted in large amounts. Object An oyster meat is stored in an extraction container where water is accumulated. An oyster meat essence is extracted to generate an extract liquid. The extract liquid is injected to a centrifuge, and concurrently the centrifuge is rotated at a centrifugal acceleration where an antioxidant substance with high antioxidative potency and ORAC value is separated and removed from the extract liquid. The antioxidant substance with higher antioxidative potency and ORAC value is separated.

Abstract: The invention relates to the preparation of oyster flesh extracts. Raw oyster flesh is placed in an extractor with a solution stored in it. The extractor is closed up tight and pressurized to 1 atm to extract oyster flesh extracts from the raw oyster flesh, and they are fed into the solution in the extractor. An extraction solution with the oyster flesh extracts is fed in concentrated solution to precipitate out the oyster flesh extracts. The precipitates are dried into dry oyster flesh extracts. The extractor is then closed up tight and pressurized to 0.1 atm to 0.2 atm to extract a second portion oyster flesh extracts from the raw oyster flesh, and they are fed into the solution in the extractor. The precipitates are dried into dry oyster flesh extracts.

Abstract: When the power supply from a power source 101 to a load 102 is controlled in a switching manner by a semiconductor switch QA, reference voltage generating means (QB, Rr) generates a reference voltage (VDSB) having a voltage characteristic substantially equivalent to that of a voltage between the terminals of the semiconductor switch QA being connected to a predetermined load. Detecting means CMP1 detects a difference between the voltage (VDSA) between the terminals of the semiconductor switch QA and the reference voltage (VDSB). Control means which consists of the gate driver 111 amd CMP1 performs an on/off control of the semiconductor switch QA in accordance with the difference between the voltage (VDSA) between the terminals of the semiconductor switch and the reference voltage (VDSB).

Abstract: A wire-protecting apparatus for automobiles in which at least one power-supplying lead for supplying an electric power to a load has at least one PTC element inserted in series with the power-supplying lead. The PTC element exhibits a high resistance at temperatures higher than a predetermined value when an overcurrent greater than a predetermined value flows through the load, thereby substantially shutting off the electric power to the load.
